Thank you for sh...This is a very inspiring story!! Thank you for sharing it!!! I did not know about this!! <br /><br />This actually has significant relevance to our own time. I'm thinking about the term "successful retreat." Where our troops are currently stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan they are surrounded by hostile forces or poetenially hostile forces that could turn on us in an instant. Needless to say the supply lines to these troops are extremely precarious. In Iraq, we could find oursevles outflanked by hostile forces from Iran, Syria, Saudia Arabia, and Turkey at a moments notice. In afghanistan, the situation is not much better. <br /><br />We could find ourselves surrounded by Pakistan and Taliban forces with no way out and the supply lines cut off to our forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our brave warriors would have to fight their out of a trap set by better armed and better supplied forces on all sides. This sounds like a simillar situation to what the British and the french faced only much tougher thant theirs was.<br /><br />The logisitics involved in such a situation would be far tougher than what the British faced. I pray the military leaders have prepared for such a contingency. It appears the successful retreat by the British increased morale. I have no doubt that an American withdrawl from Iraq and Afghanistan would have the same effect for our brave warriors and for the Aemrican people. Morale would go up substantially among the Aemrican people and our troops.<br /><br />The scenario I mention is pretty much inevitable. As such, I would suggest pulling our men and women out now before enemy springs this trap on us. If I know its coming, then I know our military commanders know it is coming. Furthermore, if I know we don't have adequate resources to overcome this, then our military commanders know this as well. <br /><br />As such, if they have any honor at all, they are currently begging the Commander in Chief and have been for some time to order the "successful retreat." If we do it now, our odds are better of success. This withdrawl would have the effect of preserving what we have left of our fighting capability and it would increase the morale of the Aemrican people and our fighting men and women. <br /><br />When the enemy springs this trap on us, the logisitics of a retreat will be far tougher than what the British faced, however, I think it is doable. If we began our redeployment now, we would have a better chance. It should be done without delay. Where is the leadership to get this done?B.Posternoreply@blogger.com
